[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 19/32] ipa: rkisp1: agc: Store per-frame information in frame context

Rework the algorithm's usage of the active state to store the value of
controls for the last queued request in the queueRequest() function, and
store a copy of the values in the corresponding frame context.

The frame context is used in the prepare() function to populate the ISP
parameters with values corresponding to the right frame.
